GDPR - Are You Ready?

GDPR - ARE YOU READY?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will be enforced from 25 May, 2018.

UK organisations that process the personal data of EU residents have only a short time to ensure that they are compliant with the new data protection regulations. The introduction of huge fines for breaching the GDPR is intended to focus businesses on compliance.

The GDPR should be a priority for organisations across Europe throughout 2017, however many organisations (especially private SME’s) will find that even a year is not long enough to do all that needs to be done.

WJM have the expertise to help your company be ready in time for the change in this regulation.

We can help with:

  • GDPR Compliance & Guidance
  • GDPR transition services
  • Policy drafting and updating
  • Data Audits
  • Data Mapping
  • Staff Awareness Training
  • Data Protection Officer (DPO) services
  • Subject Access Request guidance and documentation
  • Incident Management Assistance
     

MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY FOR THE CHANGE
